2018 Yeti SB5 Beti Women’s Bike Review

The Yeti SB5 Beti Review:

Straight from Colorado for all you lady-shredders, the Yeti SB5 Beti offers up a sloping top tube to improve standover clearance for the lady bits. With impressive compliance throughout the shock stroke, this bike offers a stable, great cornering climber and descender.

The high fun factor this bike offers comes at a price, especially with this build.  The TURQ carbon frame is a higher grade carbon than the regular carbon frame, and as tested with SRAM XO 1 Eagle and Fox suspension the bike retails for $6999.

The Yeti SB5 Beti boasts 127mm or 5″ of rear travel and 150 mm front. Solid numbers for a trail bike.

If your home trails offer technical and challenging obstacles up and down, this bike will really shine.  Climbing as well as it descends, this capable trail bike is great for someone looking for increased standover and plush suspension even for the lightest of riders.
